Heroine: The beginning starts with gambling on the wife with two hundred kilograms of rubbish

Lu Zhong immediately crawled over and kowtowed, "Sir, it was me, I found out what happened here, but I couldn't leave, so I asked Yong'er from the shelter to report it."

"Well, where is Yong'er? Come over and answer the question."

Village chief Zhou immediately led the way, and the leading officer followed into the shelter. Soon someone came out and called the court doctor to go in and check.

Song Tingran began to feel puzzled when this group of officials arrived. The county magistrate had sent people here many times before, and she had also been to the government office.

Song Tingran didn't recognize the officials who came today, and he didn't even recognize their faces.

Lu Zhong had been sitting on the ground, but now he got up and stood crookedly, his eyes full of fear.

The leading official came out at this time, and the court doctor was still treating Yong'er inside.

"Who is Song Tingran?" asked the officer.

Song Tingran bowed and said, "I am you, sir."

The officer glanced up and down, very indifferent.

"We have both the witnesses and the physical evidence. Come with us and we will go back to investigate further."

"Sir, this is against the rules." Song Tingran also said coldly.

The leading officer, holding the official knife at his side, approached Song Tingran. She looked at him without giving in, neither humble nor arrogant.

"How is it against the rules? If you come with us now, maybe you can suffer less. If you explain the matter, it can be resolved sooner."

Village Chief Zhou was also scared, so he tried to ease the situation. "Sir, don't be angry. There must be a misunderstanding. Song Tingran has made great contributions to Daniu Village and Ping'an Town. She is not that kind of person."

The official sneered, "Village chief, right? You should know that the emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people, let alone a mere Song Tingran."

Village chief Zhou was choked and speechless. He wanted to plead for mercy, but the evidence was all there, and there were so many villagers watching.

"Sir, first of all, I want to make it clear that I have never abused servants. Assuming that I really did that, Yong'er and Lu Zhong are both servants of my Song family. Logically speaking, even if I beat them to death, the government office would not be able to do anything about it. Why am I being taken away today? I wonder which law I have violated?"

Song Tingran's words awakened the people present, whose thoughts had just been led by Lu Zhong.

Village Chief Zhou: "Sir, what Song Tingran said is reasonable. Yong'er and Lu Zhong both sold their bodies and are of low status."

The official smiled with great disdain, not even looking at Village Chief Zhou. He said loudly to everyone here, "If he had beaten or scolded the servants, our government office would not have come here in the middle of the night. The problem is that Song Tingran established the shelter under the banner of charity, and the county magistrate praised it and said that it was a good thing for many officials. This is not only the town, but the resort has many distinguished guests, and its reputation will grow sooner or later. Behind Ping'an Town's reaping the benefits is Song Tingran's deceiving his superiors and subordinates, deceiving good people into slavery, and taking human lives lightly!"

"Sir, I just built this shelter, and it is for those who need it to have a temporary place to live. What you said about Ping'an Town reaping the benefits is completely false! And I have never deceived anyone. You can ask any questions about the people I rescued."

The leading officer didn't listen to what Song Tingran said and immediately ordered his men to arrest her.

"Song Tingran, if you have anything to say, tell me after you see the adults."

Shi Yan, Xiao Yuchen, Wen Li, and Chen Xiangyuan all stood in front of Song Tingran, not allowing the officers to touch her.

"Song Tingran, are you planning to make trouble for the imperial court?"

The officer had already drawn his sword, which was very frightening, and many villagers took a few steps back in fear.

The people's fear of officials comes from the bottom of their hearts.

"I don't dare to go against the imperial court, but I have doubts about your identity. You are not from the county magistrate's office, who are you?"

Song Tingran gave the men a reassuring look, walked to the front, and asked again loudly: "Who are you?"

The leading officer retracted his official knife and spread out his hands.

"We are indeed not from the County Magistrate's Office. Because the County Magistrate praised you for setting up the shelter, it is unknown whether she knows exactly what you are doing, or whether you are conspiring to climb up together, so this matter naturally needs to be handled by someone else."

There was already a layer of sweat on Village Chief Zhou's forehead. He wiped it again and again, thinking that the hat was too big.

Song Tingran's brain was working frantically. It seemed that the county magistrate had been stripped of his real power.

Everything happened too suddenly.

"There is also a prefect in Ping'an Town." Song Tingran asked tentatively.

"Oh, unfortunately, the prefect has been busy working for the country and the people and has already rushed to Shengjing."

"You've been talking for a long time, but you still haven't said who you work for. Is it so hard to say? Or are you and Lu Zhong in the same group, working together to frame me?"

The leading officer had lost his patience. It was almost dawn and he could not waste any more time.

"If you have anything to say, you should wait until you get there and tell the adults. We have to be on the road now."

Four or five officers surrounded him at the same time. Chen Xiangyuan stared at the leading officer and finally had some impression of him. He had seen him before.

"You are from the Prime Minister's Mansion." Chen Xiangyuan said slowly.

The leading officer looked at Chen Xiangyuan with interest and asked, "Who are you? You look familiar to me."

Song Tingran had some ideas. If these officials were from the Prime Minister's Office, it would make sense.

It all makes sense!

In the past, the Prime Minister was punished for the incident at Tianzi Embroidery Workshop and dared not make any move for many years. Now, time has passed and it seems that he has come back to take revenge.

"Everyone go back and have a rest. Stop gathering here. I'm fine. I will cooperate with the investigation and the adults will definitely give me justice." Song Tingran suddenly said to the villagers.

Village chief Zhou immediately understood her intention and immediately asked the villagers to leave.

Zhao Yu was worried and didn't want to leave, "Sister Song, how come this involves such an important position as the Prime Minister?"

"Sister Zhao, I will be fine. Let's go home quickly." Song Tingran pushed Zhao Yu away and mouthed, "Trust me."

Zhao Yu then walked away, looking back every few steps.

The leading officer looked at Chen Xiangyuan as if he were staring at his prey. "I'm talking to you. Who are you? If you don't tell me, I'll tell you for you, Chen Xiangyin."

Chen Xiangyuan did not deny it, but deliberately guided her, "You have the wrong person. I am really a distant relative of Song Tingran."

"Oh? Then what's your name and where do you live?"

Chen Xiangyuan kept silent, while Song Tingran watched the villagers leave. He asked Luo Mingyue and Gu Yan to go back to the embroidery workshop and asked Anfu to greet Yonger.

The court doctor came out of the shelter and said, "Sir, there are many bruises on the bodies of the people in the room. They were not formed in one day. This is not a big deal. The important thing is that this poison seems to have been used and then immediately detoxified. People will experience pain, but they will not die."
